Creators vs. Consumers: The Rhetoric, Reality and Reformation of Intellectual Property Law and Policy

OverviewThe goal of the "Creators vs. Consumers" conference is to bring IP scholars into conversation with prominent figures from the bench, bar, industry, advocacy groups, and the media -- all of whom grapple with IP issues in the course of their professional work.

In addition to a keynote address by Tim Wu of Columbia Law School, the conference will consist of four sessions, each of which will be devoted to a separate topic (Trademarks, Patents, Copyrights, and New Frontiers of IP). Each session will feature the presentation of research by a scholar followed by commentary.
